Dr. Kelly Sundberg, author of the memoir Goodbye, Sweet Girl: A Story of Domestic Violence and Survival, co-pilots this episode. Mo and Kelly met nearly four years ago in a support group for survivors of abusive relationships and have been friends ever since. Mo and Kelly discuss trust and ghosts and anger and healing and moving forward. Recorded on March 28, 2019 in Portland.
Stella Harris, sex coach and author of Tongue Tied: Untangling Communication in Sex, Kink, and Relationships, co-pilots this episode, which addresses the idea that in dating, pickings are slim, that you have to settle when you get to a certain age, and that being in an unhappy relationship is better than no relationship at all. Mo makes tired all-you-can-eat buffet jokes and disses a specific Midwestern buffet restaurant, but there is a happy ending!
Mo is joined by her friend, artist, writer, puppeteer, and lifter of very heavy things Jorie Jenkins, to discuss life as a single-by-choice person. A lot of talk about art-making and identity in this episode!
Mo is joined by Portland underground literary legend Jennifer Robin, author of Death Confetti and Earthquakes in Candyland to discuss brain chemicals, oatmeal, compassion, and making better choices at any age.
No Love Signs host Mo Daviau (author of the novel Every Anxious Wave) and her very smart single lady friend Melissa Duclos (author of the novel Besotted) discuss the old saw "I don't want to be in a relationship," cash payments related to guilt, men who only date much younger women, and sneaking views on other people's credit reports, and offer what I believe is some very high quality advice on the maiden voyage of the good ship No Love Signs.
